The Lifetime Movie Network Revamps Site

By

The Lifetime Movie Network, reportedly the number one movie network for women, earlier this week announced the launch of a new Web site designed for “television movie buffs”. LMN.tv is live now.

LMN.tv, said the Lifetime Movie Network, consists of broadband features for the women’s movie network. One of the most highlighted features of the new site is the movie pages, which will feature broadband “sneak peaks” from over 100 movies, a dynamic user rating system and expanded full credits for each movie.

Other features of the new LMN.tv include an enhanced TV schedule with special viewer email alerts, an online fan club with message boards and a monthly newsletter and a games section which features a multimedia trivia game with video clips, a variety of question types and a leaderboard to see who is spending most of their day watching LMN programming.

Blue by ADT’s revamped home security lineup features Alexa-enabled cameras
blue by adt three alexa compatible security cameras ces 2020

ADT made a name for itself as a home security company. The announcements ADT made today at CES 2020 shows it intends to continue to grow that reputation, and in a big way. ADT announced three new security devices in the “Blue by ADT” lineup: An indoor camera, an outdoor camera, and a doorbell camera. The devices aren’t just run of the mill security cameras, though. They integrate Alexa in a different way than most security systems.
The Blue by ADT Indoor Camera streams and records video at 1080p and has two-way talk, support for up to 128 GB of local storage, and Alexa integration. Users can ask Alexa to set specific recording rules and manage other Alexa-enabled devices in the home like a thermostat or a smart lock. The Indoor Camera can detect your home’s existing smoke and carbon monoxide siren and alert you if it triggers.
The Blue by ADT Outdoor Camera is essentially the outdoorsy counterpart to the indoor camera. It also streams and captures video at 1080p resolution and boasts night vision capabilities. It can also store up to 128 GB of footage on a local memory card. The Blue by ADT Outdoor Camera is IP-65 weather-resistant, so it can withstand most average weather conditions. It’s powered by a rechargeable battery, so you do not need to run a cable to it -- a fact that allows for more creative placement.
Finally, the Blue by ADT Doorbell Camera streams 1080p video, has two-way audio, and a 180-degree field of view. It is available in Pearl Grey right now, but a new graphite color option is coming soon. At the moment, it only works with Amazon Alexa, but Google Home and Apple HomeKit compatibility are on the way.
These devices have a lot of appeal already, but all three share several extra features, the first of which is facial recognition. The camera can detect a familiar face and alert you when that person comes into view. All three devices are also compatible with existing LifeShield systems as well as the upcoming Blue by ADT Security Systems. You can create custom motion zones with each camera to cut down on the number of false alerts, and the built-in Alexa functionality means you can control any other Alexa-compatible device in your home from these cameras.
Something else all three share is the price point. All three Blue by ADT cameras are $199 and available for preorder now. You can also invest in the Blue by ADT Extender + Chime for $49 which improves the life of the outdoor camera and plays a preset chime when someone rings the doorbell.

A European site may have leaked the new Google Nest Mini

We just posted about a Canadian company possibly leaking the code name and price for the new Google Mini that should be debuting tomorrow, October 15, at the Google hardware event, but it looks like a European site has now leaked, well, everything. The site, WinFuture, has photos and descriptions of the new device, reportedly called the Google Nest Mini.

As we reported earlier, online retailer PC-Canada listed several suspicious items on its Google device page. One seemed to be a new Google Mini device, code-named Valens. The European site WinFuture shows a device that looks identical to the current Minis on the market. The only big difference is that the device can be wall-mounted, as evidenced by the hanger on the back of the device. The device also seems to have an extra-long cable that will allow it to reach outlets from wherever it is placed. The site also states that this new Mini is made, at least in part, from recycled plastic bottles and the device will come in four different colors, including black, gray, coral, and blue.
